The discussions highlight the potential of this dataset to influence urban planning, historical research, and geospatial analysis, though some focus more on methodology than direct societal impact.

Abstract in brief

  • The study develops detailed historical datasets tracing land development in the U.S. from 1810 to 2015, using a large database of building information to map where built-up areas were at different points in time.
  • These datasets have a high spatial resolution of about 250 meters and are updated roughly every 5 years, providing a valuable resource for analyzing long-term urban and land use changes.
  • The data, part of the Historical Settlement Data Compilation, are publicly accessible and enable new types of research exploring how the built environment has evolved over 200 years across the United States.]
